Christianity EtcRe: What My Marriage To An Anglican Caused My Catholic Parents. by salt1: 5:55pm On Jul 08, 2017
Movingcoil:
Maybe the imbecility that is irredeemable in your family DNA never allowed you to comprehend where I wrote that "anyi Na agba war" and that my church is not what I believe in.
I don't blame you cos if the old hag who it's sperm you germinated from were used to plant mango and cashew as manure, Nigeria may be exporting those fruits and getting more revenue apart from oil and ridding this planet a toxic and corrosive substance like you.
And you claim to be a professing Christian worshipping with Assemblies of God!
I almost wept on reading this. May God visit you with genuine repentance. I pray for you

Newmum0615:
Hello everyone,

I am new here and I commend everyone for the support they are giving each other here. I want to share my story in the hope that someone may help me understand what is going on.

Long post alert (pardon the long post, I just want readers to get a background story before i ask my questions)

I have battled with symptoms of endometriosis since 2013. Although there was no definitive diagnosis, my docs said all signs pointed to endo and that getting pregnant would be hard.
I had a baby in 2015. The pregnancy crept up on us without even knowing or trying (we just got married and 4 weeks later, i found out). It was tough in the beginning with threatened abortion, and then severe morning sickness, pains and weakness throughout the journey.
At about 33 weeks, during a routine check-up, doc noticed that my amniotic fluid was low and he suggested I take rest from work and take lots of fluid and hope that it gets back to normal. All my preparations to travel to the US to have the baby was cancelled because he did not certify me fit to fly (I was leave the next week). The pregnancy continued till 38 weeks when I noticed one evening that the baby had not moved all day and some hours the previous day. I called the doc and he asked me to come to the hosp immediately. DH and I got there that night and he immediately said I was not going home, that the baby had to be delivered that day cos all efforts to make the baby move was futile. To cut the story short and move to my main problem, I had my son via CS by 1am the next morning. The surgery was successful, swift and no complications whatsoever. Apparently, the umbilical cord was tied round my son's neck and he was in distress (I thank God he clocked 2 years old this year and is healthy).
Fast forward to 16 months later, I got the all clear from my doc to start trying for another baby. I started having very long, painful and heavy periods and breast pain from nowhere. My doc put it down to hormonal issues. He suggested I go for hormonal profiling, but the month I was to go for the test, I got a BFP after 3 months of trying. I took prenatal vitamins for the 4 months preceding this.
I was elated. I had all the symptoms: severe morning sickness, vomiting, everything. Was admitted once for threatened abortion (used progesterone for 10 days), twice for diarrhoea and other times for dehydration due to excessive vomiting and not being able to hold down food or water. HCG test showed high levels and doc said everything was fine. But at my 7 weeks scan, the doc noticed that the fetus was not growing as it should. At 8 weeks, no heartbeat or significant change in size. I was told to hold on for another 3 weeks to see if any changes would occur b4 doing an evacuation. I kept praying & hoping in God. Doc said I might have had a missed abortion and that if after 10 weeks, i didn't pass out the tissue, I would go for an evacuation. I waited for another 1 week and at 12 weeks I started bleeding in the office 1 day. I rushed to the hosp and the doc said I would be prepped for an evac. I was given all necessary drugs to start contractions and we went in for the surgery. When the evacuation started, I was in serious pain. I screamed whenever the doc put in the instrument. Then the bleeding started. Serious bleeding. I bled and bled and almost passed out. God was in charge that day. An emergency laparatomy (a surgical incision into the abdominal cavity, for diagnosis or in preparation for major surgery) had to be done to find out the cause of bleeding. My abdomen was filled with blood. The anesthesiologist was called in. Oxygen was given to me. Blood bags were called for from the blood bank cos my PCV went from the normal 36 to 23. I was awake during the procedure and they flushed out the blood, cleared the baby tissue and used the opportunity to remove the 5.3 ovarian cyst growing in there. I had some fibroid tissue but doc had said it was not serious enough to warrant any attention. Doc said my uterus was punctured during the evac, but that he was able to repair it and that I would have no problems conceiving but that my next delivery must be through CS without getting into labour. I came out alive and spent 1 week in the hosp b4 I was discharged. The doc said that the baby was growing close to the previous CS scar and that I may have had placenta previa cos the placenta didnt move up the way it should cos of the scar.
So apparently, according to the doc, the bleeding was from the placenta that was blocking the cervix. The surgery was in March and I am on my healing journey, although it was not as fast and easy as my previous CS.
This is July and I still feel pain in my pelvis like the endo symptoms. My periods are still heavy and painful and I still see blood even after the period supposed to have ended. I have had 2 periods since the surgery but I had to go to the hosp and was prescribed oral contraceptives to normalize the cycle. I have finished the drugs but I have not noticed any significant improvement. Still waiting for the next cycle this July to see if there are any. I was given antibiotics for this recurrent pain and told to wait out the other cycle to see if everything normalizes, but I am scared and hope that I won't have a hard time getting pregnant again. I don't know what caused the issue with the other pregnancy.
Doc says I can start trying again by the end of the year but I am scared because all these symptoms are not giving me hope and I am not sure if I would have healed well by then. My periods used to be so regular but now they are erratic cry. I had a 30 day interval between this last 2 periods. My periods have always been 25-26 days interval. I don't even know if I am ovulating again.
Sorry for the long story, I just want to know if anyone is having the same signs and what they did or are doing about it. How long do you think I should wait before trying again? I am hoping in God for a miracle pregnancy without stress. I just need another baby and then I hands off this baby business. It is stressing me out.
Hmmm! Thank God you already have a child. God will certainly bless you with another

Nigerians! Nigerians!! Nigerians!!. Forever on your knees praying. Your destiny is being raped as we speak while you pray to whoever. Get the f**k up from your knees. You pray too much. Act to change your society. Change your country!
I can understand your irritation but I beg to differ. Religion is just one aspect of society. The religious person is doing what he understands to encourage higher morality and integrity. You and I know that the few honest people in Nigeria are those who are genuinely godfearing.
I think that instead of criticising them, you should start the change you want to see. Act to change our country, don't preach it. If your mission is compelling enough, we will all buy into it.
Criticism is cheap. It's the working hard that counts

That's the truth.

SE is so small that land is so valuable.

Educational ServicesRe: Studying In US And Canada Faq's by salt1: 7:52am On Jun 15, 2017
dafemlions:
I want to study abroad, most especially in Europe, US and Canada. How do I go about it?
I do not have much information about schools in Europe. However, I do post some opportunities for Europe based on the scholarship alerts I receive. You can always visit the websites of the post I make for European schools and read more about specific scholarship. For US and Canadian schools, I can provide some information.

I know you do not have much information about the EU but I am also interested in US and Canadian Schools. How do I go about it?
The first step is for you to go to google, type in “ US Universities + your course of study” if you are interested in the US. You can do a similar search for Canadian schools by replacing US with Canada in your search. It will bring out several schools and you can go through these schools one-by-one.

What are the requirements for getting into the US and Canadian schools?
Kindly note that different schools have different requirements and so you have to carefully navigate through their graduate school website to have an idea of the requirements. It is not enough to just go through the graduate school website, you should also go through the website of your intended department as individual department do have additional requirements in addition to that of the graduate school. Some schools specify this type of requirement as “Program requirements”. For some schools, the major requirements for admission into US and Canadian schools are the results of your undergraduate degree, letters of recommendation, transcripts, a Statement of purpose and for most of the schools (most especially in the US and some schools in Canada), the GRE (Graduate Record Examination).

What is the most important criteria out of the ones listed above?
I will say that your undergraduate records and the GRE are ranked highest when schools are considering students for admission and funding. Some schools even place more emphasis on your performance in the GRE than your undergraduate record. This is because the educational system varies from one country to another. So the GRE creates an avenue to evaluate students from various educational backgrounds and finally helps the admission committee to evaluate and rank applications to their program. Admission and funding (scholarships) are given to applicants based on this ranking. Once funding is exhausted, other applicants are given an alternative to either fund themselves, or they are denied admission.


Is there a difference between funding and scholarship?
Funding and scholarships are the same in this context. Funding are given in form of teaching or research assistantship or fellowships (with teaching assistant, some or (mostly all the time) all of your tuition is paid with some stipends by teaching/ assisting in teaching of some undergraduate classes, while with research assistant, you work with a professor helping s/he on a research work) . This includes tuition waiver, health insurance and monthly stipend.
I would like to know the admission policies of the US and Canadian universities if they review applications before the set deadline (First come first serve basis) and I would also like to know if decisions on scholarships and assistantantships are made after the deadline or prior.
I will suggest that you go to the websites of the schools you are applying to as different schools have different policies as regards scholarships but they usually specify it on the department website. As far as I know I think most schools consider all applications together after the deadline and not on a first-come first-serve basis. I will just suggest that you take your time to thoroughly go through your departmental website in each of the schools you are applying to and if you have further questions, you can send an email to the graduate coordinator and all your questions and concerns will be adequately addressed.

Are there schools in US and Canada that do not require GRE?
Yes, there are schools in the US and Canada that do not require GRE. As a result, I think these schools receive a lot of applications from all over the world which makes it highly competitive due to their less stringent criteria (As regards the GRE).

Since some schools do not require GRE, do you encourage me to apply to these schools without GRE?
As a result of my own experience with this kind of issue, I will advise that only first class students should apply to these schools (even though their chances of getting into these schools might be slim due to high number of applicants from all over the world) but I will strongly recommend doing GRE should in case this doesn’t work as planned.

Since the chances of getting into these schools without the GRE is slim, please tell me more about the GRE.
GRE (Graduate record examination) is a computer adaptive test (I mean the one taken in Nigeria because some countries like China do have paper based GRE tests) that entrants into most US and Canadian graduate schools have to take in order to get admitted for graduate program and also to get funded. It is an aptitude test which could be a General test or a subject test. Most schools usually do not require subject test and you can always find a school that do not require a subject test. You can read more about the GRE from www.gre.org
The General test consists of Quantitative and Verbal reasoning which is similar to our secondary school mathematics. So the exam is not hard. Do not listen to people that are pessimistic about writing the exam. It is all about time management. Once you have good materials in the exam, you will do very well in it.

When can I write the GRE?
Before Nigeria was ban by GRE, You can write the GRE on any working day throughout the year. Once you are ready, you can schedule your exam date yourself and go take the exam on the scheduled date. However, they now write the GRE weekends (usually Friday and Saturday)

What is the Best time to write the GRE?
The best time to write the GRE is on or before the 15th of December (in order to meet up with the application deadline for most schools). The idea is that application of most of the schools close by the 15th of January of every year for the fall (September) admission. So if you take the exam by the 15th of December, your results will be sent out to the schools you are applying after 2 weeks of taking the exam. This essence of this is to give allowance for the results to get to the schools you are applying to before the deadline.

How do I register for the exam?
You can go to register for the exam at the centers in Nigeria. However, I have learnt that they charge more than the exam fee (185 US dollars). As a result, I will advise that if you have someone who can help you register in the US, that will be a great idea. They will just register on your behalf for the day you want to write the exam and the confirmation page for the registration will be sent to your email automatically. A print out of the confirmation page is needed for you to be permitted into the exam. Also note that a means of identification in form of an international passport is needed for you to be admitted into the exam. You can check all the requirements on this link http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/test_day/.
I have also found out that you can register yourself online with visa and mastercard.

Where can I take the exam in Nigeria?
The exam can be taken at First Logic, No 30 Oba Akran Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. There are also centers at First Logic in Abuja, Nigeria.
Please note that there are other centers in Lagos, Abuja and Portharcourt but I do not have the details at the moment.

Do I have to go to an institute for lessons on the GRE?
You do not need to go to an institute for lessons on the GRE. All you need are good study materials that will help in adequate preparation for the exam. I will recommend the following materials for you: I think based on reviews, Gruber's GRE is the best. you can also use BARON and Princeton. you may be able to download these materials from libgen.info or en.bookfi.org

I have been to the website of some schools in the US and Canada and they do require TOEFL. Do I also need to do TOEFL?
I will advise that you contact the school you intend to apply to first. They will be able to tell you more about the TOEFL requirement. I will say no because Nigeria is an Anglophone country and you can always let the school know this before you make your applications at all. If the school insists that you do TOEFL, then you can kindly search for other schools because most of these schools will always waive TOEFL for Nigerians.

I have a 2:2. Do I stand a chance of getting admitted and funded?
I will tell you a story of a friend who had a 2:2 from University of Ife and He is now in the US with full funding (Tuition waiver and stipend) from His school.
What most school requires is a CGPA of 3.0 on a US scale of 4. This guy had a 3.4 on a scale of 5.0 from one of the Nigerian Universities which is a 2:2 and it is directly equivalent to less than 3.0 on the US scale of 4.
There is a body in the US called WES (World Evaluation Service www.wes.org). What they do is to evaluate transcripts from other countries of the world on the US scale of 4. When the guy did His WES evaluation, the report showed that He has a CGPA of over 3.0 on a US scale of 4 which gave Him an advantage of getting into a US Graduate program. What now strengthened His competitiveness was his score in an Exam called the GRE (Graduate Record Examination www.gre.org).The GRE is like the most important criterion after one’s undergraduate result that schools in US consider in admitting and funding students. This Guy had a very high score in the GRE and this helped him. That was how He was able to get admission and funding
The Scenario of the person you described above is a scenario of someone at the border of a 2:1. I am in the lower 2:2. What is my fate?
The essence of my story is that you can follow the same process. There are some schools which require a CGPA of 2.5 to get into the graduate program. So I am optimistic that by the time they finish your WES evaluation, you will have more than 2.5 which will give you an advantage of getting into the programs with the 2.5 CGPA requirement. If you now do very well in your GRE, you will stand a very good chance of getting funded (Tuition waiver, health insurance and Monthly stipend).
How do I search for Schools?
You can search for schools by typing “Department of Forestry US Universities” if you are searching for Department of Forestry in US Universities. For example, if it is Canada, you will type “Department of Forestry Canadian Universities”

What choice of school would you suggest?
I will suggest that before apply to schools, you should look at the program ranking of schools that have your department. This will help you to reduce the amount of money spent on application fee and also increase your chances of getting admitted and funded. As a student coming into US or Canada for graduate studies, you need to understand that there are differences in education standards. So the fact that you made a first class in Nigeria does not guarantee that you will get into the top 10 programs in your field. I also want you to understand that program rankings are different from University rankings because a University might have the 50th ranking and be the number 1 ranked program in Chemistry. By program ranking I mean departmental ranking. So University ranking is different from program ranking and employers do recognize this fact. So in situations where other Universities are recruiting faculties (lecturers) in a particular field, they usually shoot for Ph.D graduates from top ranked programs. Now that you have now understand the difference between University ranking and program ranking, I will now explain how to make a choice of school when you are applying afresh from outside the US or Canada. My own advice is that students that are applying afresh from outside the US or Canada should apply to medium schools and not top schools. This is because the chances of getting into these top schools are usually very low because our educational system in Nigeria is usually not considered as “strong”. Please do not misunderstand me when I say that our educational system in Nigeria is not as strong. I do not mean to downgrade our education. What I mean is that we take a lot of irrelevant courses that are not supposed to be taken so that at the end of the day you cannot fully boast that you are a competent graduate from your field of study. For example, Agricultural Economics Students take a lot of classes from Animal and plant science that makes them more qualified to be an Animal or Plant scientist than being an Agricultural Economist. This is because Agricultural economists should take more of quantitative classes which we do not and at the end of the day, our transcripts are not internationally competitive because we do not usually have the skill sets the schools abroad are looking for in an Agricultural Economics graduate. I do have someone who made a 1st class in Agricultural Economics and applied to University of Alberta in Canada for Masters but was only admitted without funding. He finally got into an average school in the US for his masters and later applied to University of Alberta for his Ph.D. Because He now has the required skill set that Alberta needs, He got into Alberta with full funding. With this illustration now, I think you should now get my point.
Based on my experience, I will advise that when you look at graduate program rankings , do not apply to top schools. Apply to medium schools and I am sure that irrespective of the deficiency you may have in your undergraduate in Nigeria, you stand a better chance to be admitted and funded in these programs. After you might have gone through your Masters in these medium ranked programs, you can now apply to a top school for your Ph.D and when they see consistency in terms of your performance both at undergrad and masters, they will be optimistic that you will do well in their program. This is the best way to go about it when applying for graduate studies.
However, I want you to note that when you check program rankings, there are some programs that are not ranked. They usually write “NA” in front of these programs. That does not mean that those programs are not good. It is because only graduate programs that has Masters and Ph.D that are ranked. So once a program offers only Masters, it will not be ranked. In fact I will advise that you apply to such programs because most of them have good programs and fundings (scholarships) are more available to masters students because they do not have Ph.D students. In programs where they have Ph.D’s, they usually prefer to give their Ph.D students funding rather than their Master’s students.
How do I carry out the program ranking search?
Go to google search engine and type “Graduate program ranking in Agricultural Economics US universities”. You can do a similar search for Canadian Universities.
If I am admitted and not funded, would you advise me to pay from my pocket?
I would not advise you to pay from your pocket except your parents are extremely rich. Come to think of it. Average school fee per semester is over 11,000 US dollars and average living expenses (housing and feeding) is an average of 6000 to 9000 US dollars a year, depending on the part of the US you are. You are not allowed to work in the US except you work on your school campus and getting a job in school can be quite hard because everyone scrambles for the few jobs available on campus. Also it is hard to combine school work with job. It is a little easier in Canada though.

If I am admitted and partially funded, would you advise me to pay from my pocket?
I would not advise you to pay from your pocket based on the previous explanations except your parents are extremely rich.

You also mentioned Statement of purpose as one of the criteria for admission. What is required in this statement of purpose?
Statement of purpose is the same thing as statement of research interest or personal statement or letter of motivation. In some schools, they tend to distinguish between personal statement and statement of research. If they do so, they will let you know what is required in each one. In a broad context, statement of purpose is a written statement where you “market” yourself. I said market yourself because the people that are taking these admission decisions have not seen you or known you before so the extent to which your statement of purpose is convincing goes a long way in telling them that you are worth investing upon because the funding they are giving you is a form of investment and when you invest in something, you hope to get good result. So your statement of purpose is used to predict whether you will be able to meet up with the requirements of the program. By requirement in this context, I mean that whether you will be able to carry out all your assigned duties (classes, Teaching or Research Assistantship) without any problem. Specifically, Statement of purpose should include the following:
It should not be more than two pages at most.
The first paragraph should be focused on your motivation to study the course you studied as an undergraduate. I will advise that it should not be more than 8 lines and should be captivating. It will determine whether the admission committee will read through the whole statement or they will just drop the application.
The second paragraph should be a follow-up on the first paragraph and should be focused on your experience as an undergraduate and you should link it up with your undergraduate project.
The third paragraph should also be a follow-up of paragraph two, linking your research interest in your undergraduate project with your interested research area for your graduate studies. Kindly note that your area of research interest must be in line with the area of research interest of the faculties(Professors or Lecturers as we call it in Nigeria) in the department of program you are applying to. Trying to come up with new area of research does not impress admission committee here in US or Canada, it only disqualifies you because they will tell you they do not have an advisor (supervisor) for you. As a result, I suggest that before you apply to any department or write any statement of purpose, you should go through the profiles of the lecturers of the departments you wish to apply and fashion your statement of purpose or your research interest along the current area of research interest of the lecturers in that department.
The fourth paragraph can be focused on your leadership, extra-curricular and other qualities you think could further make you more competitive for the program (like the conferences and symposiums you have attended which is in line with program you are applying to. You should also include the papers you have published in case you have published any).
The fifth paragraph should indicate the reasons why you are applying to that particular program.
The sixth paragraph should be the concluding paragraph and should be focused on what you intend to do with the degree you hope to obtain from this school.

If you have additional questions, you can post them in this tread and I will be willing to answer them.
Please note: All the people that have followed these instructions are already studying in North America today. You do not need to pay anyone for tutorials. You can study the materials on your own and pass.
Just stumbled on this. Very good

Maybe. But we're still happy that they achieved their dream of being parents. A couple said they've tried 16 cycles of IVF

You can't eat your cake and have it. You can't demand for Biafra while at the same time you remain in Nigeria.
I think those clamouring for Biafra have not really taken the time to think what the implications are.

That said, I think I'm personally happy with this development. This what we want; for the Northerners to do something very stupid like this one. If they force the Igbos back home, it is not just Biafra that will emerge as a result, the Southwest too will follow suit...even if I have to personally lead my beloved Southwest out of Nigeria.

But the Igbos should be smart this time aroung; don't wait till they start attacking you. Leave the desert alone, and go back to your evergreen forest home. Allow the Northerners to lead the disintegration of this country; that would be answer to generational prayers.
I saw the positive side of this issue with your comment.
If Hausas push Igbos (and other tribes because all Southerners are the same to them), the Hausas themselves will leave other southern states out of fear of reprisals. As each region is compelled to develop or perish, we may all emerge better and stronger.
My only concern is: can we achieve this with zero violence?

study the sun and it's rays, Glance through all renewables, Read about graphs associated with energy management, Read About countries associated with these renewables, Eg : highest coal producer or consumer etc. I'm thinking BP statistical data can also help, you can get it from google.
